EPQ topics

Hi guys!!
Pleaseeeeee suggest some good epq questions, the topics I’m interested in most are blood groups, genetics, ethics.
But I’m really not sure how I can tailor my epq around these topics.
Plsssss help!!! :smile:

What about ‘How ethically justifiable is genetic modification?’

i was going to do mine on epigenetics which was pretty interesting. Cpuld be something you look into if it sounds good?
Try linking blood group and genetics together (researching into some topics will help here). Incorporate some ethical justifications, but into your essay. Maybe into your title too, 'is .... ethically viable' etc.
At the end of the day, it's your EPQ and you should do it on something you would enjoy doing.

i did my epq on genetic engineering: the social aspect of it.
For example- what happens if we are allowed to choose genders. would we have more men than women?
what would happen to society? would there be an increase in child brides, prostitution?

I'm no expert in the topic lol but you could talk about the importance in genetics determining your blood type and the antigens responsible for it.
Or something along the lines of genetic modification to change blood groups - this would allow you to talk about ethics too
